GIFT HOLDINGS INC. ( (JP:9279) ) has issued an announcement.

In December 2025, GIFT HOLDINGS reported robust trading at its Japanese company-owned restaurants, with all-store sales rising 24.7% year-on-year, driven by a 21.7% increase in customer numbers and a modest uplift in average check size. Same-store sales grew 4.9% and 4.0% excluding outlets closed for refurbishment, supported by strong customer traffic, selective price increases at Machida Shoten, and extended operating hours at brands such as Butayama and Ganso Aburado, while maintaining high QSCA standards. The company had no store refurbishments in December 2025 and none scheduled for January 2026, and its expanding store base from 226 in November 2024 to 276 in December 2025 underscores continued network growth and volume gains, although the latest monthly growth rates are somewhat lower than the exceptionally strong levels recorded in the previous fiscal year.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:9279) stock is a Hold with a Yen3608.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on GIFT HOLDINGS INC. stock, see the JP:9279 Stock Forecast page.
